"SanFran, first of all, look at this thread. His behavior has a huge effect." Yes, his behavior hits a nerve with a lot of people. So what? Do you expect everyone that sees right through Dick's rage to run and hide from the TV when Big Brother is on? "Secondly, please do not put words in my mouth. I said "offensive." I never said "verbally abusive." I wondered why, if you found his behavior so offensive... Totally a different thing. " I didn't put words in your mouth. My issue with Dick is NOT that he is merely "offensive"....my issue is that he is "verbally abusive", although to be totally accurrate, he's BOTH. I can't answer your question (as you worded it) because it puts words in MY mouth. Your question presumes that I think Dick is merely "offensive". I think his behavior is much more than that. Why can't I have my opinion without being cross examined like Dick cross examines the women in the house that disagree with him? I have a right to my opinion and you have the right to yours. Why can't we just agree to disagree?

From the current house happenings thread: Kmjm Member 05-19-2002 Monday, July 30, 2007 - 8:48 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He's still doing it! He's saying to her "Piece of shit. I'd wipe my ass with you. Do you like the verbal abuse ? Maybe you'd like me to smack you around." Now he's just told her to use drano on her tw*t. I can't take this. Nick is joning in. Quite the Noble Lad.

You said that Dick said outright - "Do you like the verbal abuse ?" Correct? I guess that answers the question of whether or not he's being verbally abusive.

Okay, I will now admit he is verbally abusive in the context of the game. Geez. What a prince. If my dad talked like that, I would be in therapy for years.

As some of us predicted, DICK HAS ESCALATED HIS ABUSE. According to the Current Bb Happenings thread, Dick just poured tea over Jen's head! He physically assaulted her. I'm not saying it was physically harmful, just that Dick crossed a brand new line by taking his abuse from verbal to physical.

Just to clarify, it was iced tea. If it was hot tea, I wouldn't want to think about it.

I already did, Jen. Jimmer, it doesn't matter if it was iced tea.....it was still assault and battery. I posted this in the Current Happenings thread but it's moving so fast now, it'll get lost before long: http://www.expertlaw.com/library/personal_injury/assault_battery.html "In the context of criminal law, "assault and battery" are typically components of a single offense. In tort law, "assault" and "battery" are separate, with an assault being an act which creates fear of an imminent battery, and the battery being an unlawful touching. Assault and battery are intentional torts, meaning that the defendant actually intends to put the plaintiff in fear of being battered, or intends to wrongfully touch the plaintiff. The wrongful touching need not inflict physical injury, and may be indirect (such as contact through a thrown stone, or spitting). This article describes the law of assault and battery as it is commonly applied, although the law may vary in any specific jurisdiction. Assault An assault involves: An intentional, unlawful threat or "offer" to cause bodily injury to another by force; Under circumstances which create in the other person a well-founded fear of imminent peril; Where there exists the apparent present ability to carry out the act if not prevented." <snipped due to length>

Well guys, I tell you it hurt to type that, but I was posting something at the exact time Dick spoke, so I got him verbatim. There was more but I ran out of steam and will to post that crap. It was horrible. Truly, I feel exhausted and hurt, like Dick said those things to me. They are so vile.

I'm not remotely excusing what he did Sanfran. I was just stating a fact.

And I'd like to add- I have done research on violence against women for years, and the research clearly shows that it starts with words, and escalates. Pouring the tea is crossing a key barrier. Dick does this in front of cameras? No question in my mind that he is a risk for more serious physical abuse.

"I'm not remotely excusing what he did Sanfran. I was just stating a fact" Jimmer, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to imply that you were excusing it at all.

No problem Sanfran. I have to say that I find Dick's behavior shocking. It's hard to put into words but it is so different from what Howie did with April.

Kmjm, I think Jen knows a line was crossed as well. On the live feeds she says she is going to ask to spend the night with Dustin in HoH because she feels she needs to be protected.
